Your wonderful parade

Moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade

Over streets that pass the houses where you¡¯ve stayed

Your wonderful parade

Your daily masquerade

Paper masks behind this face that you have made

Crumble down upon foundation that you've laid

Your daily masquerade

(*) Stand in line try to climb

Meet your wife at cocktail time

Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall

Your marvelous charade

Never could be worth the prices that you¡¯ve paid

Blindness is a part of every game you¡¯ve played

Your marvelous charade

Repeat (*)

Your daily masquerade

Your wonderful parade
